When Farmer Groot's horse needed new shoes, Klara, his black-and-white
cow, didn't seem to think it very fair and grumbled that she never had
anything new. But little did she know that Farmer Groot was planning a
big birthday surprise for her, and he looked forward to inviting most of
the village for a party in his meadow. Keeping secrets from Klara was
never easy, but with a little help from Farmer Klein, his next-door
neighbour, they came up with a clever plan to keep her well away from
all the party preparations. On Klara's birthday, Farmer Groot could
hardly wait to show her his surprise. In the meadow, a long party table
stretched nearly all the way to the old windmill. Balloons fluttered in
the wind, and the farmers were relieved and happy that everything had
been finished on time. But they should have known that anything
involving Klara would never go quite according to plan. Who could have
ever imagined that Klara would end up doing something so unexpected and
extraordinary that it would be talked about for a long time to come?
